So far, just under 215,000 Americans have died from the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. But according to UPI, a new study says deaths of Americans that were linked to COVID-19 may have gone underreported by nearly 75,000. That's because either people delayed seeking treatment, or were too afraid to seek medical help during the pandemic. As a result, COVID-19 could have indirectly contributed to deaths from other illnesses like Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and heart disease. Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond examined death certificates for their tabulation. The found that of 225,530 excess deaths, 150,541, or 67%, were attributed to COVID-19 from March to July.
Cerro Guido, Chile, Apr 1 (EFE), (Camera: Felipe Trueba).- A valley at the southern tip of Chile, dubbed the “Rosetta Stone” of paleontology in the Southern hemisphere, is providing an international team of researchers with new findings of well-preserved fossils of vertebrates, invertebrates and plants from the Cretaceous period that could be the key to unlocking the secrets of life and the planet at the end of the dinosaur era.The research by the group of geologists, paleobotanists and biologists in Las Chinas valley, located on a sprawling estate normally used for cattle farming that houses a treasure trove of fossils at the end of the continent, is also shedding light on the common past shared by South America and Antarctica, as the director of the Chilean Antarctic Institute (INACH) and director of this long-term paleontological expedition, Marcelo Leppe, tells epa-efe.FOOTAGE OF THE RESEARCH.SOUNDBITES OF MARCELO LEPPE, DIRECTOR OF THE PALEONTOLOGICAL EXPEDITION:“It's an iconic place with a lot of animal and plant species and microfossils that are helping us elucidate an unknown area of natural history."“We have some of America's oldest mammals in this valley and the oldest in Chile. But its value is not only due to its age, it’s that these are pieces that were missing which have revolutionized our thinking, and allowed us to rattle the cage of our understanding of the evolution of mammals in the cretaceous period."
Salamanca, Spain, Feb 20 (EFE), (Camera: Carlos García).- Spanish and Portuguese researchers from Salamanca, Spain, and Coimbra, Portugal, have launched IDIALNET, a research network aiming the study of diagnosis and early prevention of leukemia.FOOTAGE OF RESEARCHERS.SOUNDBITES OF JULIA ALMEIDA, PROFESSOR AT THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE IN UNIVERSITY OF SALAMANCA AND COORDINATOR OF THE PROJECT:“Recently, the therapeutic strategies have radically changed in the sense of the treatment, which is aimed at molecules or molecular mechanisms, mechanisms related to the signals of altered molecules that can be typically seen with leukemia. So we are personalising or trying to personalise the treatment of these kinds of illnesses.”
SEAT participated at the COTEC Foundation’s two-day #Imperdible_03: Cities and Innovation event, aimed at encouraging the public to experience firsthand how innovation will change cities and how to build environments that are friendlier and more liveable.Through the SEAT Autonomous Driving Challenge, students from all over Spain with technical training in robotics participated in the final stage of this competition to develop fully autonomous control functions. This is the second edition of this project to boost young talent, which is organised by SEAT and CARNET, Barcelona’s first urban mobility research centre founded by SEAT, Volkswagen Group Research and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC)
